The Scraps were one of the best British rock bands to be eluded by commercial success. After several years of relentless gigging, attracting a solid fanbase and much positive TV and press exposure, an eponymous album was slated for release but cancelled. This left as their only released legacy a CD EP, Dreadlock Criminal, and Live Bootleg, a cassette-only fanclub release, both consistently brilliant. Heavy and powerful, both on stage and on record, they held immense promise, sadly ultimately unfulfilled.

For more music in a similar vein, check out ex-members Steve Wellington, aka Dreadlox Holmes (lots of Scraps stuff on his YouTube channel), and Johanne James' awesome band, Kybgrinder.
